Which side of the plane to sit from Tuktoyaktuk Airport (Tuktoyaktuk) to Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport (Inuvik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an expansive view across the massive Mackenzie River Delta and the jagged Richardson Mountains visible on the western horizon.
Search flights from YUB to YEV
Beaufort Sea Coast
The edge of the Arctic Ocean where the land dissolves into a maze of islands and silt-filled waters.
Mackenzie Delta
A sprawling network of countless river channels and wetlands that form one of the world's largest deltas.
Richardson Mountains
A stunning view of the snow-capped mountain range that borders the delta to the west.
Inuvik Approach
A clear view of the town of Inuvik and the East Channel of the Mackenzie River during the descent.
The right side provides the most dramatic scale of the region. For the best photography, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the Richardson Mountains. The contrast between the muddy river channels and the dark lakes is highly photogenic.

Ibyuk Pingo
Witness the largest pingo in Canada, a massive ice-cored hill rising sharply from the flat tundra near Tuktoyaktuk.
Thermokarst Lakes
Thousands of small, shallow lakes create a honeycomb pattern across the permafrost landscape.
Arctic Tundra
Look for geometric soil polygons and ancient caribou migration paths etched into the fragile ground.
The Tree Line
Observe the sudden transition where the barren Arctic tundra meets the northernmost reaches of the boreal forest.
This side is superior for geological enthusiasts wanting to see Pingos. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after takeoff from Tuktoyaktuk for the most prominent mounds. The low flight altitude allows for incredible detail of the permafrost patterns.
